‘Sell bonds, buy bitcoin,’ proclaimed a popular social media account last week, echoing the sentiments of many crypto advocates who believe that tariff-induced volatility in the U.S. Treasury market – a cornerstone of global finance – has revealed the fragility of the dollar-denominated monetary system. However, institutions are not buying into this narrative.As of Monday, the 11 U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs, considered a proxy for institutional activity, were on track to register the second-highest cumulative monthly outflow of over $800 million, according to data source SoSoValue. The funds bled a record $3.56 billion in February and $767 million in March.Meanwhile,…

It has not been a secret that 23andMe has struggled financially for several years, yet the announcement of the bankruptcy filing on March 23 was met with trepidation by many of its more than 15 million customers due to privacy concerns. In the announcement, Mark Jensen, the chair of 23andMe’s Special Committee of the Board of Directors, stressed that company leaders evaluated several “strategic alternatives’’ that would benefit…

Let’s face it—most dividend investors don’t wake up excited to dig into earnings reports. It’s not exactly sipping-coffee-on-the-deck kind of fun. But reviewing your holdings quarterly? That’s not busywork—it’s your best defense against dividend surprises, sleepless nights, and “why didn’t I sell this earlier?” regrets. At Dividend Stocks Rock (DSR), we don’t believe in watching the market daily. That’s a surefire path to analysis paralysis (and probably some unnecessary trades). But checking in four times a year? That’s the sweet spot. You stay informed, catch red flags early, and—most importantly—reinforce your confidence when things are going well. In this post,…

The future of math education will begin with the divorce of a very long-term marriage. Ever since Massachusetts set up the nation’s first system of public schools, math education has been inextricably tied to what students should know based on their date of birth: 3rd graders are taught multiplication and division, 5th graders are taught to coordinate planes, 8th graders are taught to graph linear equations, and so forth. But this marriage between math and grade-level instruction has always had an inherent conflict at its root. Here I explore what it will take to dissolve the marriage and finally end…

Ultimately undone by Instagram pics A lawyer who emailed in sick to spend time with friends at an Aussie Rules football game has lost his unfair dismissal claim against his former firm. Mitchell Fuller was fired from the Melbourne firm Madison Branson Lawyers in August last year after his skiving came to light.

The stock market has been turbulent the past month or so. As a dividend growth investor, I usually ignore the ups and downs of the market. Stocks can go up, stocks can go down, but my dividends are paid on time, and increased too. Getting paid to hold is definitely a great strategy to stay invested and ignore the noise.I recently saw some interesting research on dividends from Hartford Funds on the power of dividends.Going back to 1960, they found that reinvested dividends accounted for 85% of historical stock market returns. Reinvesting those growing dividends into more stock definitely turbocharges…
